Washineton. Oct; 31. (Soecial Tel
egram.) Unlike his opponent for the
high position ot United Mates senator
from "Nebraska. Gilbert M. jHHtliewlft
John L. Kennedy received no contri
butions for his campaign. His formal
statement, made in pursuance ot law
and filed today with the secretary of
the senate, states that Mr. Kennedy
thus far has exoended in his campaign
$4,898.17 and that he has promised to
spend $450 before November 7. .
lhe report ot , Mr. Kennedy is
uninue in that it sets out in detail the
amount of money expended with
newspapers throughout the state for
advertising and possibly subscriptions.
It is almost a recapitulation ot Ayers
newspaper directory so far as Ne
braska is concerned and with that trait
which is Mr. Kennedy's strong claim
for election he signed each sheet of
typewritten matter with his own sig
nature. Believing the efficiency of printer's
ink, Mr. Kennedy employed the news
paper of Nebraska to tell the people
where he stood on the big questions
now uppermost. He paid W. M.
Maupin $100 for space in his maga
zine. He gave the American Press
association $224.50. He paid his cam
paign manager sums at various times
and he paid newspaper writers for
copy." In short, Mr. Kennedy testi
fies to the effectiveness of, the news
naners as an advertising medium,
hence theMerailed reference to the pa
pers he has asked to announce nis
candidacy.

times of the Barrett, Scott and Bartley

the most of the lesson, deciding then
to become a lawyer in order to be

Washington, Oct. 31. A republican

twenty-seven is predicted in a state
ment issued here tonight by Repre

Hughes will be elected by a "satis

"These figures are, not a mere

not with the idea of making as flatter

' Mr. Bryan is telling tlU people that President Wilson

headed straight for war. . ,. i v- K?' ' v f t '(
I believe the republicans should remind the people of
the historical facts, as they happened a few months ago ;
how Mr. Bryan, bound for the south, found 'it necessary to
catch a train for Washington to hold conferences with the
members of congress to arouse thtim to the necessity of op- .
posing the president, who then was not trying to keep out
of war, but on the contrary, tried as hard as he could to get
us into it. Tens of thousands of letters and telegrams were
then sent from all over the country to senators, to remind
those gentlemen of their own responsibility in regard to
declaring war.
Neither Mr. Bryan nor the country in general did then
think that Wilson was trying to keep us out of war. Mr.
Bryan's conviction of this 'fact came out after the demo
cratic national convention, and also Mr. Wilson found out
how good he was when his friends there praised him to the
skies for keeping the country out of war.
I am only a farmer and have not the time to put all
these facts into good readable form, but I think you should
lose no time to show every voter that the president wants
to get his election under false pretenses.

might endanger American vessels and

ernor's patronage. That lie had his
troubles even then, due to hjs slip
pery methods, is evidenced by a let
ter printed at the time in the home
democratic paper, over the name of
S. Simmons, who had been the demo
cratic choice for county judge and
who then accused Mullen of double
crossing him arid throwing him down
in seeking the deputy wardenship of
the penitentiary.
Sample of Mullen Smoothness.
Simmons had submitted endorse
ments along with his application bear
ing the names of all the well-known
Holt county democrats. "I also asked
Arthur Mullen for his support, which
was promised," he wrote, "and he, in
my presence, dictated a strong letter
endorsing me for the position." Sim
mons made the trip to Lincoln.
"Here I found," says he, "that the
letter Mullen had written in my pres
ence endorsing me had not been sent;
that he had wilfully and knowingly
deceived me; that lie had 'written a
letter for and was supporting another
man for the place. It was quite evi
dent that my appointment would have
interfered with other appointments
from Holt county in which Arthur
was personally interested. Such de
ceit, political trickery anti nisnonesi
political juggling as Mullen deals in
is not in the interest 'of rogressive
democracy." , '
No liltle thinir like this, however,
could seriously interfere with Mullen's
progress toward the goal. As chief oil
inspector he continued to be Gover
